Our law firm is dedicated to providing experienced and compassionate legal representation in a wide range of immigration and related legal matters. We specialize in:

ASYLUM SEEKERS

_____________
If you are afraid to return to your home country because of persecution due to your race, religion, nationality, political beliefs, or membership in a particular social group, you may qualify for asylum in the United States. Asylum offers protection, allowing you to live and work in the U.S. with a path to permanent residency.

ASYLUM SEEKERS

The process can be challenging, with strict legal requirements and deadlines. Whether you need to file an initial application or defend your case in Immigration Court, we are here to help you navigate every step.

FAMILY-BASED IMMIGRATION

_____________
Bringing your loved ones to the United States is possible through family-based immigration. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition for certain family members to obtain a visa or green card, helping reunite families and build a future together.

FAMILY-BASED IMMIGRATION

The process varies depending on the relationship and immigration status of the petitioner. From marriage-based petitions to sponsorships for parents, children, and siblings, our firm is here to guide you through every step, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

CITIZENSHIP/NATURALIZATION

_____________
Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone that comes with important rights and protections. If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may be eligible to apply for naturalization through a process that includes meeting residency requirements, passing a civics and English test, and demonstrating good moral character.

CITIZENSHIP/NATURALIZATION

Our firm can guide you through the naturalization process, help you prepare for the interview and exam, and address any legal concerns that may arise. Take the next step toward securing your future in the United States.

COURT REPRESENTATION/APPEALS

_____________
If you are facing deportation or have received an unfavorable immigration decision, you still have legal options. Our firm provides skilled representation in Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and federal courts, including the Second and Third Circuit Courts of Appeals.

COURT REPRESENTATION/APPEALS

We fight for our clients at every stage, from removal defense to challenging wrongful denials. Whether you need a strong defense in court or wish to appeal a decision, we are here to advocate for your rights and explore every possible legal remedy.

MOTIONS TO REOPEN

_____________
If your immigration case was denied or you received a removal order, you may still have a chance to fight your case. A Motion to Reopen allows you to present new evidence or argue that legal errors affected the outcome of your case. These motions are often used in cases involving ineffective assistance of counsel, changed country conditions, or newly available relief.

MOTIONS TO REOPEN

Time limits and strict legal requirements apply, so it’s important to act quickly. Our firm has experience preparing strong motions to reopen, giving clients another opportunity to seek the relief they deserve.

SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE (SIJ) STATUS

_____________
Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status is a pathway to lawful permanent residency for children under 21 who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. This process involves obtaining a court order establishing the child’s eligibility before applying for immigration relief.

SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE (SIJ) STATUS

SIJ status provides protection and a future in the U.S. for vulnerable children, but the process can be complex. Our firm is experienced in handling SIJ cases, guiding clients through family court and immigration proceedings to secure the protection they need.

TPS RENEWALS

_____________

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows individuals from designated countries to live and work legally in the United States due to dangerous conditions in their home country. TPS is not permanent, and beneficiaries must renew their status during designated periods to maintain protection.

TPS RENEWALS

Our firm assists with TPS renewals, ensuring all required forms and supporting evidence are submitted on time. We also explore additional immigration options that may lead to more permanent relief.

VISA APPLICATIONS

_____________
Whether you're seeking a family-based, employment-based, or humanitarian visa, navigating the U.S. visa system can be challenging. From fiancé visas (K-1) to work visas and visitor visas, each category has its own requirements and processing times.

VISA APPLICATIONS

Our firm provides expert guidance through the visa application process, ensuring accuracy and compliance with immigration laws to maximize your chances of approval.

EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

_____________
Work permits, or Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), allow eligible non-citizens to legally work in the United States. Whether you're applying for an initial work permit, renewing your EAD, or seeking employment authorization under a specific immigration benefit, we can help.

EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Our firm ensures that your application is filed correctly and on time, helping you avoid unnecessary delays in obtaining or maintaining your work authorization.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE

_____________

A criminal charge can have serious consequences, especially for non-citizens. Even minor offenses can impact immigration status, employment, and future opportunities. If you are facing criminal charges, having an attorney who understands both criminal and immigration law is crucial.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE

We provide strong legal defense in criminal cases, protecting your rights and working toward the best possible outcome, whether it’s dismissal, reduced charges, or alternative sentencing.

DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW

_____________
Divorce and family law matters can be complex, especially when they intersect with immigration issues. Whether you're filing for divorce, seeking custody, or handling support matters, our firm provides knowledgeable and compassionate representation.

DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW
